    SES AI (NYSE:SES) just put two weighty catalysts on the table: a Korea based manufacturing collaboration aimed at NDAA compliant drone batteries, and its upcoming Battery World update on AI driven cell technology and capacity.

    See our latest analysis for SES AI.

    Those drone and AI battery headlines are landing against a backdrop where SES AI’s share price return has quietly shifted higher, with a roughly 10 percent 3 month share price return and a 1 year total shareholder return near 190 percent, but a still negative 3 year total shareholder return showing how early and volatile this story remains.

    If this kind of battery and drone momentum has your attention, it could be worth scanning other aerospace and defense names using aerospace and defense stocks to see what else may be aligning for potential growth.

    But with SES AI still loss making and trading nearly 50 percent below the average analyst price target, are investors looking at an underappreciated growth story or a stock already pricing in tomorrow’s breakthroughs?

    Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 32.0% Undervalued

    With the most followed narrative pointing to a fair value of $3.00 against a last close of $2.04, the implied upside is sizeable and growth driven.

    Integration of the Molecular Universe AI platform into both energy storage and EV applications gives SES AI a unique edge as AI driven materials discovery accelerates innovation cycles, improves battery safety, and enables differentiation in high value markets supporting future margin expansion and earnings growth.

    Result: Fair Value of $3.00 (UNDERVALUED)

    However, this upside depends on smooth UZ Energy integration and rapid Molecular Universe adoption, with any execution stumble or AI underperformance likely to challenge that valuation path.

    Another Angle on Valuation

    That $3.00 fair value rests heavily on growth assumptions, but today’s price already bakes in a rich sales multiple. SES trades on a 40.3x price to sales ratio versus 2.2x for the US Electrical industry and 23.6x for peers, even if a 46.2x fair ratio suggests some headroom.
